SKVR textEnglish

1Katri kukki linnukkainenKatri, the bird-like one, thrived

2Kauvan kasveli koissa,Long she grew in the hearths,

3Enemmin emonsa luonna;More at her mother's side;

4Piti 5 vitjat poikki,She wore the reins to tatters,

56 vyölliset kuluttiThe sashes she exhausted,

6Kirkkotietä käyessään,Walking the church road,

7Linnassa lipatessaan.Gliding in the fortress-town.
